I suppose it could be just me but I doubt it.  Here’s what I’ve noticed:

• I have better energy, but then I’ve changed my diet to include a lot of wild food.
• People and events are more easily and quickly identifiable by me as God, gifting me with love – but then I’ve been working toward this goal for 15 years.
• In spite of an “ugly” economy, life is easier and more filled with joy.  More good things and opportunities are coming my way effortlessly.  You may think this is transitory but it’s been going on for many months now.
• I have more love in my life and in my mind.  I suppose that could be attributed, in part, to reading the Ringing Cedars Series of books but it’s been going on since months before I read the books. 

So which came first, the chicken or the egg?  The Ringing Cedars Series or the increased love in my mind?  Hard to tell.  However, I STRONGLY recommend the series to anyone wanting to increase the amount of love in his/her mind and life.

It’s Thanksgiving eve and I want to publicly give thanks to people and events in my life.  I’m grateful to…

• my two ex-husbands for their roles in making me more self-aware.
• My current husband of 25 years for being the perfect exploring partner.
• My 6 children who have made my life so rich that I can’t express it fully.  They have increased my experience of LOVE and JOY exponentially.
• The “difficult” childhood that made me who I am - a mother, friend, author, speaker and teacher who has brought great benefit to thousands and received great benefit from millions.
• My first granddaughter, who has reminded me daily that we are all born perfect children of God and Love.
• The Colorado Kin Domain Group who have joined together to create a very important kin domain settlement in Colorado that will support kin domain settlements across the country.
• The plants and trees on my property that have nurtured, fed, healed, and loved me and mine.  They have awakened in me a truth that I can’t yet express but I’m working on it.
• The spouses and future spouses of my children who have brought diversity and richness to my life beyond anything I could have planned or expected. 
• The government (old and new) and corporations that have pushed us to tranformations that we would not have reached without their impetus.
• The sun, stars, moon, planets, and spacial energies that make this incredible physical life possible.
• The inventors of wine.

To All of Those and to All That Is, I give my deepest and most heartfelt gratitude.  You have made this magical moment of NOW possible.  I cannot say enough thank you’s to express my gratitude for the gift of Self-awareness I experience in this time of change. 

Wishing us all the very best we can imagine and speak,

Words are magic because they create images in our minds.  Every word creates an image and even sounds create rudimentary images.  Sound vibrates – most people know that.  However, inner sound (thought) also vibrates in the inner Universe. 

That may seem unimportant but only because many of us don’t fully understand that inner vibration is exactly what is being experienced in the outer Universe.  Let’s look more closely at this idea.

The inner vibrating of sound is experienced as Images in the mind.  Words create images and different combinations of words create different images.  So what, right?

Mind images are NOT isolated or unconnected events.  They are vibrating.  You FEEL that vibration in your inner Universe just like you feel physical vibrations in the outer Universe.  Every feeling you have is coming from an image in your mind which is coming from words you’ve spoken, thought or heard.

You may have heard a lot about the importance of feelings when you’re attempting to consciously manifest an experience of your choosing.  Yes, feelings are important, but ONLY because they are telling you what your inner vibrating image is manifesting.  What you feel at any given moment tells you what you will feel when the associated inner image is fully manifested in your outer experiences. 

You cannot manifest something new simply by changing your feelings unless you also change the language you’re speaking and thinking which in turn changes your inner images which will then change your feelings.  All three of those inner events are inseparable and your control point is your choice of language that you speak and think.

You can change a mental image but if you don’t change your everyday language to support that new image, it will be drowned in a sea of conflicting images that appear more real to you. 

You can change your feelings as well, but you cannot hold them in place without changing the language you speak and think that supports the mental images that support the new feelings you want.  The problem is that when you feel something, you either let the feeling remain unchallenged, or talk or think about it as outside your control.  In other words, you unconsciously support the feeling which regenerates the cycle of word-image-feeling-word-image-feeling,..

If you don’t address the source of the cycle of inner activity, any change you make in images or feelings will be overwhelmed by the images and feelings that you unconsciously recognize and support as your ”reality” outside your own making.  The source of the cycle of inner activity is the language you structure in your thoughts and your conversations.

You may be more conscious of one aspect of the inner cycle than another but it doesn’t change the cycle in any way.  For example, if you are a very visual person that only means you are more conscious of the inner images, but it doesn’t mean that your inner images are in any way more dominant in the continuous inner cycle.

Note the inner images and feelings generated when you read the following sentences.

• Life is hard.  Everything works against me.
• Life is easy.  I’m supported by every circumstance I encounter.

The image created by those sentences results in a feeling (even in your body).  That feeling is nothing more than you feeling the vibration of the words and image.  You may feel a tightening somewhere in your torso if the image is against your joy. 

Even the sentence, Life is easy, can result in unwanted images and feelings if you immediately respond with language (thought) denying that life can be easy for you.

Pay attention to the images you are creating with your conversations with yourself and others.  Even if the exact same image isn’t duplicated in your outer experience, the feelings they generate will show up again and again in your life.

Words are magic because they define and create our next experiences.  Yes, I know that most people’s experience doesn’t bear that out but that’s ONLY because we have become habitual masters at unconsciously denying our power and freedom.

For example:  What would be your response if I suggested that you could make a million dollars easily if you begin saying the following affirmation?

“I make a million dollars easily in passive income this year.”

There are two categories of response to that.  One is agreement and one is denial of agreement.  If you agree that such an affirmation will work then you are already conscious of the power you wield and you wield it consciously.  If that is the case, you undoubtedly already have your millions of dollars that you received easily.

If you deny that there is any power in that affirming statement, you are conscious only of your powerLESSness (at least in the area of receiving millions of dollars), and you are calling that “reality.”  Your language will be full of defining your powerLESSness.  You’ll say things like,

• That won’t work.
• There’s not enough time left in the year.
• I’d rather just trust God.
• Millions of dollars doesn’t just appear as the result of a stupid sentence that I say!
• You’re crazy if you think that’ll work.
• I don’t know how to make a million dollars in a year so it won’t work for me.
• That can’t work in this terrible economy.

Do you see how your mind and conversation will fill up with denials of the creative power you wield with your language?  It will feel like you’re only reporting on reality as you see it.  That’s because you’re unconscious of the most fundamental role language plays in creating your experience. 

In that state of unconsciousness people don’t realize that their “report” is actually creating the reality they believe they are simply reporting.  Of course it feels like “that’s how reality is” because they are continually reinforcing that reality by putting their power into it, via their spoken and silent words, and unconsiously preventing their power from creating a new reality.

It’s easy to feel the resistance and denial in a statement as big as the one above.  However, it’s the everyday “little” unconscious reports that make our daily lives fill with struggle and stress.  Things like,

• This is hard.
• I wish I didn’t have to be here.
• I hate going to work.
• My neighbor is annoying.
• I don’t have time.
• I wish life could be easier.
• I’m confused
• I can’t do (whatever).
• I don’t know what to do.
• This is a mess!

If words really are magic (and they are) it’s easy to see that the above list of “reports” are about creating a reality that is against you.  Not a soul on this planet would consciously choose to create such a reality.  And that’s the key – we aren’t doing it consciously.  We are doing it because we are largely unconscious of the power we wield with every word we speak and think.

I know this is true because I have been studying and testing the role of language in my life for over fourteen years.  I have thousands of examples where I changed my reality on a dime.  That wouldn’t be possible if I were not wielding an amazing power with only my choice of language, both silent and spoken.

You can go to my website at http://www.LanguageOfAttraction.com and listen to a free 45 minute audio presentation called The Eight Words That Will Change Your Life.  In it you’ll hear two stories that make it easy to see the creative role language plays in our lives.  You’ll also get a lot of suggestions about ways to begin using this astounding power consciously.

Nearly everyone in our society thinks that our creative power is about belief but I have not been able to demonstrate that in my life.  Language as the creative control point, however, is easy to demonstrate and prove.

For those readers who have read the Ringing Cedars book series, what is your language doing for you?  Is it working for you or against you as you think about creating your kin domain and transitioning to a life supported by nature and all that is?  Are you speaking your success or your struggle?  Are you speaking your support or your need for support?

On the English Forum (www.ringingcedarsforum.com) I read a LOT of entries where people are creating against themselves instead of in support of their joy.  Begin paying attention to what you’re creating when you thought you were just reporting.
